Top 10 Holy Soldier songs

What are your top 10 Holy Soldier songs, and why?

10. Crazy: Really good chorus, vocals, and lyrics. This band is surprisingly not that cheesy, despite being hair metal. Good solo too.
9. When the Reign Comes Down: Great lyrics, love the similtaniously hopeful and despairing vibe.
8. Fairweather Friend: Such a great pre-chorus and chorus. Classic song from them.
7. Tuesday Morning: Aside from sounding like a Bohemian Rhapsody parody 10 seconds in, this song has such great lyrics. Really sad but beautiful too.
6. Lies: Pretty song. Really good chorus and melodies.
5. Virtue & Vice: Another classic song with a great hair metal chorus. HS can be pretty soft, even for hair metal, but the hooks are even better than Stryper's IMO.
4. Dead End Drive: Unique lyrics with yet another top-tier hair chorus. Good riffs too.
3. Hallow's Eve: Yet another great melodic chorus, and the lyrics also hit hard.
2. See No Evil: Pretty big jump. Every part is great, such amazing lyrics with one of my favorite recurring messages.
1. Last Train: I love songs about heaven, and this is the best one I've heard. These lyrics hit so hard, one of the few songs that almost makes me feel like I'm about to go there myself. I don't really cry at songs, but I get pretty close with this one. Beautiful ballad.

My favorites would be as follows, not necessarily in order:

Stranger
See No Evil
Fairweather Friend
Gimme Shelter
Last Train
The Pain Inside Of Me
Rust
Tear Down The Walls
We Are Young, We Are Strong
Dead End Drive

Take off “The Pain Inside Me” and “Eyes of Innocence” from the debut. Replace them with “Hallow’s Eve” and “Last Train.” There’s my list.

I think he already replaced Eyes with Train

I’m talking about the original albums, not anyone else’s list.

Oh, okay. That makes sense.

Could you give an approximate order? (I could at least estimate Constantines because the ones he put first are more likely to be his favorites, as they came to mind first.)

Fav to least:

When the Reign Comes Down
Hallow’s Eve
Last Train
Lies
See No Evil 
Stranger 
Love Me
Tear Down the Wails
We Are Young, We Are Strong
Cry Out for Love

from the two albums that are actually the one and ONLY Holy Soldier, you could pick any ten and I'd be happy. I'd have to really stew over that one. Of course Last rain automatically  goes on the list!

Yeah Last Train is amazing.

See No Evil and When the Reign Comes Down are my 2 favorite HS songs. I have strong views about abortion and Reign has a cool bass line and I love songs about Bible prophecy and the end times.

The Pain Inside Of Me
When The Reign Comes Down
Lies
Stranger
Eyes Of Innocence
See No Evil
Last Train
Virtue and Vice
Crazy
Hallow's Eve
